My best find was this WW1 Prussian Naval Pilots Ehrenpreis.
He shot down five aircraft. The trophy bring awarded for downing a Russian Sea Plane. This gem was the result of visiting an antiques fair that I very nearly didn't go to ...just shows you things are still out their... Last edited by arrestingu; 11-12-19 at 04:41 PM. |

Good lord, what a find indeed....that lot must have had a sorry resting place for quite some years; but fabulous nonetheless.
I would suppose the entire lot is connected with that Green Howards cap? CB |

The obligatory Essex Yeo item from me, full dress sabretache for the West Essex YC. This was at the third attempt having been an underbidder the previous two times. I had some time back got the cross belt pouch and was pleased to make the pair.
Second, a gilt pattern Essex Territorial shoulder title worn by SNCOs of the Bn. Small and at the other end of the price scale but the gilt a super finish on this otherwise simple badge. Happy hunting all. EY |

EY,
Love the sabretache, third time lucky so well done. I have been searching for 2 similar sabretach's that I know exist because I have seen photos of them. Both are for the 7th Lancashire Artillery Volunteers, one with a SEVENTH scroll and the other with a MANCHESTER ARTILLERY scroll. No idea where they are though. regards
